File Menu : Input-File Management
To start using BuildingTclViewer, select the File Menu in the menu bar.
At the first opening of BuildingTclViewer there are three options:
- New -- Start the input file from scratch
- Load (Recommended) -- Load an existing BuildingTcl script.
- Exit -- Exit program without saving to user-specified input file.
Once an input file has been selected, more options are available to the user:
- View $Filename -- View the input file. In the current relase, there are no editing feature
- Reload & Source $Filename -- Clear memory, reload filename and source it -- this will undo all changes that had been made in the viewer since the last save
- Source additional File -- Source additional BuildingTcl script without clearing the memory
Once a new file is created or an existing one is opened, the BuildingTclViewer menus serve the same purpose:
- create and/or edit input
- run selected load-combination analyses on selected models and automatically post-process the data
- view and save post-processed analysis results.
